ASSOCIATED FACTORS AND RESULTS OF AN CLINICAL TRIAL IN IMPROVING QUALITY OF LIFE AMONG HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS AT CAO VAN CHI PRIVATE GENERAL HOSPITAL IN 2019
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Hemodialysis patients experience many troubles of physical and mental health, social and economic issues that fmake bad influences on their quality of life (QOL). Objectives: to evaluate the quality of life and its associated factors and results of a clinical trial on improving the quality of life for hemodialysis patients. Materials and methods: An uncontrolled clinical trial with pre- and post comparison was conducted at Cao Van Chi private general hospital, Tay Ninh. Sixty-eight hemodialysis patients aged 18 and over and 3 months of hemodialysis at the hospital were randomly selected from the total of 105 hemodialysis patients. We used the SF-36 version 1.0 to evaluate quality of life for patients. Intervention strategies consisted of quality control for hemodialysis and community integration for patients. Results: At baseline, the average total score of QOL among hemodialysis patients was 54.07 (SD: 18.97). We found some associated factors of QOL, including patient age, duration of dialysis, level of blood albumin and hemoglobin, and URR index. Average score of QOL was increased up to 66.50 (SD: 18.22) after 3 months of interventions. Conclusion: Hematological and biochemical control in hemodialysis have significant association with patients’ QOL. Thus, anemia management, hypoalbuminemia treatment, quality control in hemodialysis and enhancing community integration for patients will improve their quality of life.
